Bible Question:
How does any Homosexual believe they are living by GOD's will when it is clear in GOD's word that it is against HIS will? and here is just a few places in HIS word that say's it is against HIS will: Lev. 18:22 ; 20:13 1 Corin. 6:9-10 Deut. 23:17-18 |
Bible Answer: Here in Romans 1:19-24 it talks about people who know the truth of God but refused to acknowledge it. Then God gave them over to their uncleanness. I will answer your question with a question. How does the fornicator, the murderer, the adulterer, the thief justify their actions to say they are living by God's will? The world will use any excuse they can to say they live by God's will, but deep down, they know they aren't. It doesn't matter what part of the law you're transgressing. So the homosexual will wind up in hell the same way the sweet little old lady will wind up in hell because she never gave her life to Christ (James 2:10,11). Whatever excuse people want to use is their downfall. Homosexuality is a grave sin, but is it any different than the man and woman who live together outside of marriage? The world accepts their sin over homosexuality because it is normal. But normal or not, it is still sin and is outside of God's will. So the world (homosexual, fornicator, murderer, etc.) believes they are living by the standards of God because they have had their heart hardened because of their unwillingness to admit their sins. Once God hardens your heart, you aren't going to see anything. Remember that God's word is spiritually discerned. Unless God reveals it to you, you can see all the scriptures in the world, but you won't understand it. So showing a homosexual a scripture will do you no good unless God is revealing His word to them. |
